haslinda: speaking of india, we know that india imports almost all of its oil needs.vid crisis threaten the global oil recovery? stephen: they are the third biggest buyer and we are already seeing according to sources that demand this month will drop 20% for crude and crude products. that is a large chunk of the oil markets. what we could see going forward is more buyers in india deciding to lower run rates at refineries because people are not consuming gasoline because they are not traveling. every day, we see india hit a new world record for the amount of covid cases. it is a tragedy -- deaths are rising and there is very little end in sight according to the oil traders we are talking to. looking at the third biggest oil consumer having such a large crisis and imports dropping this month and potentially dropping more into may and june, that puts a huge bearish implement his asian -- implementization into the market. david: one aspect of what could happen and we are watching closely with this developing story in india. coming up, we are talking morning calls and curr

serum institute of india has asked u.s. president joe biden on twitter to lift the u.s. embargo on exporting raw materials needed to make over $1000.00 vaccines the e.u. has also tighten restrictions around vaccine imports how much is all of that having an impact on the manufacturing of vaccines in india cars has a huge and impact i mean the embalming point itself right now if if if at this point it is lifted up it is going to play a huge huge role in helping us and it in us to ramp up the production of vaccines and i think that is the plenary this was why he chose to tweet about such a sensitive topic and i think even by didn't was you know he should realize that at this juncture we should keep aside our political differences and help each other in combating this pandemic because you know outsourcing and insourcing raw materials from these places are embargo has been implemented is really going to help us and hence our production be as doctors and their mentioned we eat by september that's good 3 months from now the i said

your talking about the institute of india. the serum institute of india is the world's largest maker of vaccines, and the head of the institute has asked joe biden on twitter to lift the u.s. embargo on exporting raw materials needed to make covid vaccines. that you has also tightened restrictions. how much is that having an impact on the manufacturing of vaccines in india? >> it has a huge impact. the embargo in itself is going to play a huge role in helping us, and aiding us to ramp up the production of vaccines. that is the plan reason why he chose to tweet about such a sensitive topic. even biden should realize that at this juncture, we should put aside our political differences and help each other in combating this pandemic outsourcing and in sourcing raw materials is going to help us enhance our production. as the doctor mentioned, by september, i said i am not worried about production. i am worried more about transmission. that does not defy the fact that we need to ramp up production as well. right now, we are vaccinat

catastrophic for india but the fact is india is also the world's largest vaccine maker it's considered the pharmacy of the world and many developing countries are counting on india to provide them with kovan $1000.00 vaccines so what's happening in india beyond just being catastrophic for india is also catastrophic for the rest of the world isn't it. yes that's absolutely true this 1st of all is an absolute tragedy for india it's the kind of situation that all of us wanted to avoid the all of the measures that we're trying to do with public health and with vaccinations so so i think the devastation that we're seeing in india is going to affect their vaccine supply for the world almost half the world is getting back scenes from india especially a lot of the lower income and middle income countries including some of the. western countries as well to do so so i think at this stage in the pandemic it's absolutely crucial that we vaccinate our population in the vaccinate them and fast as we can so that these variants can spread in different parts of the world so so having any reduction in t

and india's health care heroes."o professor ashish jah, the dean of brown university school of public health. i asked him if the us should be doing more to help india? yes, india is obviously in a very difficult situation. and there is a lot that the whole world can be doing, and focusing on the united states, there is a lot we can do on shoring up the public health response, improving testing, more high—quality masks, a lot on the healthcare response, improving access to medicine and oxygen. and then of course vaccinations, and the us has an ample supply of vaccinations right now and could be giving away some to india without compromising vaccination supply here at home. that is interesting. how likely do you think that is to happen? if the administration... they are certainly aware there is a crisis and i think they are feeling pressure to act. the good news is right now that there is plenty of vaccine, so they can make decisions without worrying about cutting off supply to americans. i believe the administration i

india emerge a weaker nation geopolitically. i'd say that's probably unlikely at the end of the day mark the world's live on india or pharmaceuticals and for and will ultimately rely on them for the vaccines . and so i think that you know there have been mistakes that have been made unquestionably and there's tremendous suffering as a result of that domestically. and it was it's going to be a painful several weeks enormously painful several weeks to get through all this but on on the others other side of that i think indian manufacturing production on these essential treatments will increase and ultimately india will play a very big role in helping the world to overcome the coronavirus and will probably write itself geo strategically as as it does that professor manu bhagavan from the city university of new york professor we appreciate your time in your valuable insights tonight thank you thank you thank you for having me why has the cove in 1000 crisis worsens in india the united states a global hotspot until just a few months

cases sore to record high in india.with more than 12 .6 million confirmed coronavirus cases, india has the world through highest caseload after the united states and brazil. on sunday, the head of the public-private gavi alliance, which works to provide vaccines to the developing world and is backed by the united nations and the gates foundation, addressed the delayed on an interview during cbs's "face the nation." >> india by volume is the largest supplier vaccines for the developing world. because of the new wave of outbreaks and india right now, the indian government has stepped up their vaccination programs and that has made they required more doses, which means they have made less doses available for the rest of the world. we had expected in march and april about 90 million doses and we suspect we will get much, much less than that. and that is the problem. we are in a race because we also see wealthy countries beginning to cover much of the population. our hope is they will begin to make their vaccines available t

india i hope that you and your family well and safe because the figures we get from india are absolutely shocking almost 390000 new cases of infection and more than 3 and a half 1000 deaths within the last 24 hours international help is getting underway with the 1st imagine c. aid supplies arriving from the u.s. but in the end it's all about getting millions of shots in arms s. a.s.a.p. . prime minister narendra modi seen here getting his vaccination generally likes promote india as the world's pharmacy but now the chief of the world's biggest vaccine producer has slammed the indian government because they didn't order enough jobs in the last few months suddenly the government is left standing empty handed. we don't have enough vaccines right now we let you know as soon as we receive the vaccines. compared to other countries india trails the u.s. with just over 42 percent of the population having received at least one vaccination in india 157000000 people have been vaccinated at least once of a lot of people which is 9 percent of the population. the most popular vaccine in india is astra

this is a difficult one because india a lot of countries do depend on india for their axioms so. when there's a slowdown in the distribution of vaccines around the world it's going to allow more cases of this these to develop then and this is and as i said before this is the end game this is where we need to vaccinate as many people as possible as fast as possible so that we can reduce the number of people that died from and that reduce the number of people that get severe disease from covert so it's it's absolutely crucial and i don't know it's very complicated to set up vaccine manufacturing because it requires a global supply chain it was a lot of quality assurance so it's not easy to be able to cut the slack from from the manufacturing in india. from your point of view the fact that the serum institute is not able to meet its commitments when it comes to the kovacs initiative the fact that so many developing countries are counting on these vaccines from india how concerned are you about you know what the situation is in india and how that will affect the rest of the world. re
